Some interesting facts about Alexander the Great.

1. He was taught by Aristotle but had famous run-ins with other philosophers.

Alexander’s father, Philip II of Macedon, hired Aristotle, one of history’s greatest philosophers,, to educate the 13-year-old prince. Little is known about Alexander’s three-year tutelage but presumably by the end of it Aristotle’s wise but worldly approach had sunk in. Years later, in India, Alexander paused his military conquests to have lengthy discussions with the gymnosophists, “naked philosophers” from the Hindu or Jain religions who eschewed human vanity—and clothing.

2. In 15 years of conquest Alexander never lost a battle.

Alexander the Great’s military tactics and strategies are still studied in military academies today. From his first victory at age 18, Alexander gained a reputation of leading his men to battle with impressive speed, allowing smaller forces to reach and break the enemy lines before his foes were ready. After securing his kingdom in Greece, in 334 B.C. Alexander crossed into Asia (present-day Turkey) where he won a series of battles with the Persians under Darius III. The centerpiece of Alexander’s fighting force was the 15,000-strong Macedonian phalanx, whose units held off the sword-wielding Persians with 20-foot-long pikes called sarissa.

3. He named more than 70 cities after himself—and one after his horse.

Alexander commemorated his conquests by founding dozens of cities (usually built up around previous military forts), which he invariably named Alexandria. The most famous of these, founded at the mouth of the Nile in 331 B.C., is today Egypt’s second-largest city. Other Alexandrias trace the path of his armies’ advances through present-day Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan, Tajikistan and Pakistan. Near the site of the battle of the river Hydaspes—the costliest victory of his Indian campaign—Alexander founded the city of Bucephala, named for his favorite horse, which was mortally wounded in the battle.

Which views did the Federalists favor?

Artemon [7]

Answer: The federal government should be stronger than state governments.

Explanation:

The Federalists were a group of important intellectuals and lawmakers, which formed in 1787 to support and spread their belief that the 13 American states needed to unite under the same flag and grant more power to the federal government, while keeping their power as well. The Federalists believed there should be a federal Constitution in place (which later became the American Constitution), which would protect American citizens no matter what state they came from. Basically, the Federalists argued for the creation of a higher government structure, which would ensure respect for fundamental rights, and less power to the state governments. The Federalists called for a strong national government.

The president is able to check power of congress by

Mademuasel [1]

Correct answer: A. vetoing laws passed by Congress.

This is a significant power in the hands of the President. Congressional decision making is affected by the knowledge that in both houses of Congress, a two-thirds majority will be needed to override the President's veto. Historically, Congress has been able to override less than 10% of presidential vetoes. So Congress will seek to make sure they have sufficient votes before proceeding with passage of a bill into law ... unless they want to pass the legislation simply as a statement of principle, knowing they don't have the votes to override a veto.
